Handicraft
trend is not actually new. It has its roots in the rural crafts—the
material-goods necessities—of ancient civilizations. Many specific crafts have
been practiced for centuries, while others are modern inventions, or
popularizations of crafts which were originally practiced in a limited
geographic area.

Nowadays,
the handmade trend is growing. The market supports over a million craft shops
and a community of more than 20 million buyers and creative businesses. Annual
sales have skyrocketed from $US170,000 in 2005 to more than $750 million in
2012.

“Creating different moods through
the use of color, light and texture is the best form of expression I've ever
found. A little piece of my heart and soul is in each image I create” – Carolyn
Cochrane

Carolyn
Cochrane is a new Jersey self-taught photographer with a passion for creating
images inspired by nature, color and the beach. She has the eye of a
storyteller that brings to you the art of photography. The colors and the
shapes seem to be part of a fairy tale that lets you imagine the end of it. While
staring at her pictures I tend to put myself as a character in these stories
and wants me to go to those places she photographed.
